Angelina Broken Claw - Tell me what your Brother Saw
Were you with him ....did you see it too
Did you hear the shooting guns? Were you scared, did you run
Can you tell me, Where's your Brother now?
1000 ponies in the grass, shining gold and running fast
came and carried him away
Now he rides the trail of sorrow, in a land with no tomorrow
in a camp on the other side of the sun
Angelina Broken Claw, Tell me 'bout your Ma and Pa
Did you see them Standing in the fire
Did anybody say a prayer? Does anybody even care
Does anybody wonder where you are?
1000 ponies in the grass, shining gold and running fast
came and carried them away
Now they rides the trail of sorrow, in a land with no tomorrow
in the camp beyond the sun
1000 ponies in the grass, shining gold and running fast
they're here to carry you away
Angelina Broken Dream, rides beside the silver stream
and follows the setting sun

ADDICTION

When the Winter comes and the Sun goes down
And my old friends come back around
We got this shotgun shack feeling like a Tomb
With 40 watt bulbs and empty rooms
Late at night when I'm all along
Staring out into the Twilight Zone
I can see you cryin' in your wedding dress
Your hair like fire and your face a mess
And what goes around
Comes Around...and goes around again
And i turn around and follow you down
Hangin around ...again
There's a paradox in every paradigm
I thought I needed more money but i needed less time
I was a spaceship looking for a place to land
Like a drop of dew on the desert sand
And what goes around
Comes Around...and goes around again
And i turn around and follow you down
Hangin around ...again
With Battle cries and Lullabies
On these broken wings I can barely fly
I tried to circle my wagon like I've done before
But I would up knocking on your back door
And what goes around
Comes Around...and goes around again
And i turn around and follow you down
Hangin around ...again

Here I am awake again before the light
Feeling very different but nothing has changed
The silence of a sleeping world pours over me
As I listen to the sound of a bird that doen't sing
For 20 nights a whippoorwill has sung for me
Calling to the echoes in my heart
Stopped my sleep from stealing all my precious time
Tonight the air is full of the song she doesn’t sing
I hope that she has found what she was looking for
I know her dreams were wrapped up in her song
I wish that she could sing me of her happiness
Tonight my mind is full of the song she doesn’t sing for me

LYRICS
Old man Pitcher lost the farm and they chopped down all the trees
Building house in a row just as pretty as you please
I hear they built a slaughter house
Where the church house used to be
It won't too awful long ago the nations lived out herr
My people fenced the land and they all disappeared
Now they're exiles in the promised land
Outlaws on a trail of tears
Last night the Coyotes came and sang my goodbye song
i got out in the moonlight and tried to sing along
We left our marks on the mayors car
In the morning we were gone
The politicians and the bankers are calling all the shots
With greedy eyes and twisted minds they want what they ain't got
They come 'round here with papers
Tryin' to steal the things that can't be bought
The mornin' sun on the mountain snow
Can make you loose your eyes
The glitter of a rich man's gold can make you loose your mind
All the things i thought i'd have forever, i have to leave behind

I been looking at things in the rear view mirror
and they appear to be a whole lot nearer – than they really are
and my future’s gonna be a whole lot clearer – in a day or two when we break on thru - tomorrow is the last frontier
right now I think I’ll go outside and see if a smile still fits on my face
feel the rain and cool my brain close my eyes and stare into space
time to start lookin for another place
